In this video, we identify the root cause of a headlamp issue in a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Xenon HID bulbs. Is the problem a bad ballast or a bad headlamp?

    @wesleydale10995 months ago This method was so much better than all others i have seen so thank you for the great explanation. Jeep quoted $600+ to replace 1 side amazon has a 2 id="hidden1" pack oem bulbs for $120 at the time of writing this so this likely saved me $10+. One thing i noticed, my model has the 66340hbi bulbs (high beams? The link in the description is for 66340 bulbs, so just make sure you replace like for like (whoever might be reading this). ...Expand 1

    @jacu30462 years ago I referred to your video 2 times during my surgery. Mine was successful because of your sharing, thank you. I will add that it appears that the on either side may be a locking ring, the tabs are spaced 180 degrees apart. It also appeared that the whole bulb is keyed, so straight in straight out. Very thankful for your video!. ...Expand 3

    @FiveCentsPlease2 years ago This was helpful, thank you. I strongly suggest that the very first thing that you do is go toand turn everything off And turn the headlight switch to off. Unless you plan to disconnect the battery. If the new bulbs activate while you are attempting to insert them, you are either going to a) burn your fingers or b) the bulb will melt any plastic that it touches. So you will end up scraping a few bits of plastic off of the bulb with a fingernail and praying that you didn' t just ruin it. I gently cleaned the bulb just in case. You can test the lights as you go. The next suggestion is when replacing the lower air box, the upper air intake is actually a separate piece. Remove it and it is easier to get the lower box into position and reconnect the intake just before you push the lower box back onto the pegs. This was much faster. I was able to purchase the correct osram 66340hbi bulbs from amazon for a decent price. The seller appeared to be registered as an importer from europe, so in the least i am a little more confident that i didn' t get chinese knockoffs. Lastly, i like the grand cherokee, but this is the most poorly engineered headlight arrangement that i have ever seen. ...Expand 10

    @phxroadracerlast year One of my bulbs went out. I readthat you should change both so i did. Now, both bulbs are on, but my headlights are really dim and the best word i can use to describe. And they' re not any better when i turn on my brights, maybe even worse. It appears that the deflector that focuses the light and switches from dims to brights isn' t work. My headlights don' t do the autoleveling when you first start up the jeep. Help! Does anyone know if/how to reset the deflector? I have alfaobd if there is a way to troubleshoot and/or reset. Thanks, craig. ...Expand
